= WASTE-FERRULE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov; 9, 1909.

Application filed. January 4, 1909. Serial No. 470,628.

This invention relates more particularly to a plumbers ferrule for use in connection with the waste pipes for closets and the like.

In the construction of the waste connection for closets, it is usual to have a leaol bend to which is connected a ferrule member, and this ferrule member is packed at one end into the end of the usual cast iron'waste or other pipe. The ferrule member is joined to the lead pipe by means of a wipe joint which is not only diflicult to make but requires skilled labor to effect a joint of this kind. This is particularly so on the size of pipe usually employed for closet connections, and

besides the lead or solder very often enters the ferrule orv pipe, and as the joint is usually not a clean one on the interior thereof, refuse will collect therein and this often results in the stoppage of the waste connection with disagreeable effects resulting therefrom. In

case of necessity it is also difficult to detach the lead bend and of the joint.

The primary object of the invention is to overcome the objectionable features referred to, and to provide a joint which will have a substantially smooth interior surface and to so form the end of the lead bend that it will serve as a packing or means for forming a tight joint with the ferrule member.

Another object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient device whereby parts owing tothe nature the lead bend may be quickly and readily joined to the ferrule member by an ineX- periencel or unskilled person.

A further object of the invention is to provide a joint which may be .readily taken apart, and the ferrule member readily in serted into waste pipe and the lead bend connected thereto in such a way as to form a perfectly tight and neat joint.

The invention will be hereinafter 'more particularly described with reference to'the accompanying drawings, whlchform a part of this specification, and will then be pointed -out in the claim at the end of the d escription.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a rectien, partly 1n elevation, showing one form. of the invention as applied to the usual lead bend.

Fig. 2 is a detail end view of the ferrule member, and Fig. 3 is a detail view of the ring or clamping member.

The connection 10 may be of the usual or of any preferred form of lead bend which serves to connect the waste of a closet with the-waste pipe, and said connection or bend 10 has one end, as at 11, flared outwardly to provide an integral flange which is adapted to be clamped between the element or clamping-member 12 and the flanged or enlarged part 13 of the ferrule member 14:. This ferrule memberlet is adapted to fit in the enlarged end 15 of the usual or any pre-v ferred form of waste pipe 16, which is usually of cast iron, and said enlarged end 15 of the waste pipe is provided with a recess .17 in which the part 18 of the ferrule memher is adapted to fit.' The recess 17 is somewhat larger than the body-portion of the ferrulemember and on the end of said body portion is a part 19 which is adapted to fit in the recessl'l' to properly guide said ferrule member, and in the recess 17 between the body portion ofthe ferrule member and the enlarged part 15 is a packing of oakum, lead or other sealing medium by which the ferrule memberis properly held within the waste pipe.

The clamping member or element 12 may be of the form of a ring, and mayfit loosely over the body 20 of the leadbend and independent thereof," and said ring 12 has a flanged. part 21 which is adapted to fit into a recess 22 formed byan overhanging marginal flange or part 23 extending substantially parallelwith the body portion of the ferrule member and at 'right angles to the flanged part'13. This clampingelement or member 12 is provided with a plurality of recesses or openings 2 around the edge thereof, and these openings are adapted to register with the openings 25 of the ferrule member 14. A number, of' bolts 26 pass through the openings 24 and 25, and on the ends of said bolts-are nuts 27 which serve. to draw the flanged parts 13 and 21 toward each other and to clamp the enlarged or flared part 11 of the lead bend between said ferrule member and the ring member. the lead member or bend is compressible, and as the inner surface of the part 13.0f

the ferrule 14 may be roughened, as at 528, a

-5 packing maybe provided between the larged part. 11 and the ferrule member.

.From the foregoing, it will be seen that a i l and eflioient joint is provided tween the ferrule member and the connec- 10 tionleading from the closet; that said 3' oint is much more easily made than the usual Wipe oint; that said joint does not require the skill necessary for making the joint as ."ordinarily' made; that the waste and re 15 is less .likely to collect and thereby stop passage through the waste connection,

fuse the and that by forming the ferrule and clan'iping members and joining them together in the manner shown an effective and perfect 2 1s secured between the parts at the 1o1nt.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent vThe combination with a Waste inernber provided with an annular flange, of a Waste pipe having an enlarged end torining an internal annular shoulder, a ferrule member, one end of which abuts against said shoulder while its opposite end is provided with anLannular flange having an overhanging portion, the outer surface of said flange abutting the'fiange of the waste member, a clamping ring having an annular flange formed with peripheral notches registering with bolt holes in the flange of the ferrule and means for connecting the clamping ring and ierrule comprising bolts extending through the holes in the ferrule flange and the notches in the clamping ring flange, and nuts bearing against said clamping ring flange, and the overhanging portion or" the ferrule flange.

This specification signed and witnessed this 31st day of December A. D. 1908.
